Chapter 1309
Eunice couldn''t quite put her finger on it, but she felt a wave of relief when Arabe''s slender fingers
rested on her wrist, checking her pulse. She let out a chuckle, "Well? What do you think?"
Arabe was taken aback, not expecting her aunt to be in such great shape.
“It seems you have been living the high life."
“Of course, I can''t just sit around waiting to wither away. I''m convinced their schemes will unravel
eventually, just like a secret too big to keep. Until then, my job is to stay radiant and collect their
misdeeds, turning their allies to my side."
Arabe had to admire her aunt''s savvy. Eunice was a woman who knew how to adapt, to protect
herself, and had plenty of smarts.
Eunice was truly the perfect match for Bard. They were like a power couple straight out of a superhero
movie.
"See you in a bit.” Eunice shed Arabe a knowing smile before gracefully ascending the staircase.
For some reason, spending time with Aunt Eunice felt like a breath of fresh spring air. It was
invigorating and refreshing.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town.
Serena had been racking her brain and decided she couldn''t just sit back and do nothing. So, she went
to find Louisa and cooed, "Mom, Martin''s been tied up with a big deal in Dawnstar, hasn''t been home in
ages. He''s been asking me to visit, and I was thinking, maybe I should go, check in on Grandpa and
Aunt Eunice too."
She wrapped her arms around Louisa’''s, ying the doting daughter, "I heard Aunt Eunice''s back, and
I can only imagine how much she''s been through. There are things she might not feelfortable
telling Uncle Bard. If I go, she''d have someone else to confide in"
Perhaps fearing Louisa''s refusal, Serena added while swinging her mom''s hand gently, "Please, let me
go.
Grandpa adored me, and Aunt Eunice was always so kind. It just doesn''t sit right with me, staying here
doing nothing."
Louisa chuckled helplessly, “I think you''re just missing Martin and itching to see him. Alright, alright, you
can go.
I won''t stop you. But how will you travel? Will you take the family jet or amercial flight?"

Seeing her mother finally agree, Serena beamed with joy, "Martin said he''d send a ne for me."
"Martin''s so good to you, darling. I''m d. I''ll rest easy knowing you''re with him,’ Louisa said with
satisfaction.
"Invite him over when he''s less busy. We should get to know him better."
Serena thought cynically, "Hmph, she probably wants to set up a scene where Romeo outshines
Martin, to give her biological daughter a boost and leave me, the adoptive one, embarrassed."
Although Serena believed she had guessed Louisa''s intent and felt ufortable, she maintained a
sweet demeanor and agreed.
When it was time to leave, Louisa packed a variety of expensive gifts for Serena to take as presents.
Halfway to the airport, Serena instructed Erik, the driver, to deliver the gifts to Martha instead. Martha
would sell them discreetly, with the proceeds going straight into Serena‘s private ount.
As for the presents, she nned to have Martin foot the bill for new ones. That way, she''d have extra
cash in her ount and still show up with gifts. It was the perfect n.
Dawnstar''s most prestigious Style za was a haven for luxury brands.
Uponnding, Serena headed straight there, wielding Martin''s credit card like a queen, splurging on
designer bags worth tens of thousands and jewelry worth even more. If it caught her eye, it was hers.
Martin, in the midst of a meeting, noticed his phone lighting up with notification after notification of
Serena''s shopping spree. His eyes softened. She was finally using his card.
After a shopping spree, Serena had the salespeople ship the haul to a domestic address, nning to
have Martha secretly sell the goods in exchange for cold, hard cash.
